Decorating With Supersized Florals

From Blowsy Blooms to Modern Graphics, Large-scale Botanical Wallpapers Are This Season’s Go-to Look for Country Interiors

1 CREATE BALANCE

Ensure your interior looks light and fresh by selecting a paper that teams a neutral background with modern brights – we love how the lively leaf colours  are picked up by the accessories in this room, while the cream stops the space from becoming too dramatic. ‘If you’re using a statement paper for a country home, try choosing a matte variety,’ says Ian Dykes, Founder and Director at Voyage Decoration. ‘It will instantly soften brighter shades, giving them a chalky finish, which will always complement rural interiors.’

2 FOLKSY FEEL

For a modern take on supersized florals, look to patterns with folkloric influences. Cinda’s Roses features naive botanical motifs and meandering branches, bringing a natural charm. Magdalen Jebb, Creative Director at Lewis & Wood, says, ‘Looking at it, you feel you’ve joined a powerful fairy story – not too soft, not too sweet. It offers a modern version of nature, a popular theme in country homes.’
